I had placed a negative review on Phase Electric because I tried to schedule
them to do a flat screen TV installation and they did not return my call. I
later found out that the owner was on his honeymoon and the gentleman they left in charge was overwhelmed. I rescheduled them to do the TV mount
installation and also had them hang Holiday lights. They arrived early and
all were knowledgeable, pleasant and efficient. I will certainly use them in
the future. Five Stars.

Hired Josh to mount my flat screen TV in my new house. His approach was no nonsense; no sales-hype. Just good work for a fair price. He arrived when he said he would, worked at proceeding w/o making any dirt; did the job as if it were his own home.

Lane was a pleasure to work with! Lane took the time to hang four large products for me: A 42 inch flat screen tv, a wall fireplace, a large dresser mirror and a large painting. Lane was efficient and accommodating. I was so impressed that he squeezed me into his schedule when so many others wouldn't give me the time of day. I will definitely use his services again.

We hired James to hide some wires behind a TV and as simple as that sounds, we ran into an issue with a fire block and he was able still do the project with no problem! I have remodeled 5 homes in my lifetime and I was impressed. I would definitely hire him for future projects and recommend him to friends!

I hired Josh to wall mount two flat screen TVs -- one in the living room and the other in the bedroom. Josh was friendly and polite, and offered great suggestions to help me determine the best placement. He was diligent and respectful of the walls and the equipment he was working with. With his knowledge, efficiency, willingness to work around my schedule and good humor, Josh demonstrated all the skills of a consummate small business owner. I plan to keep his card handy and use his services again and again and again . . . !

Jordan Washington is incredible! He installed a Sanus Simplicity wall-mounted TV bracket, a 70" flat panel TV and a 5.1 sound bar and speaker system. The job was in Buckeye, AZ. Jordan is a consummate professional. He reviewed all the manuals and product literature before arriving on site. He is extremely knowledgeable, polite and efficient. He went the extra mile to embed all the cabling in the wall and the results were an installation that is absolutely first class. I give Jordan the highest of ratings possible and totally recommend him to anyone in need of a home theater installation ... On a scale of 1 to 10, this young man is a 10 .... A+++++++

Steve stuck to his original quote, even if the job ended up being bigger than we both anticipated. Clean, professional, and friendly! I had no idea that Steve and his team were skilled in so many areas. I hired him to renovate my garage (flooring, paint, lighting, TV install, ceiling fan) and so far its going better than expected in every way! I strongly recommend these guys.

I was having a bbq/pool party and the weather was rainy, so I got concerned we'd have to spend a lot of the party indoors and that my flat screen tv should be mounted. I posted on thumbtack looking for someone qualified right away.
I received a fair quote fro the installation and booked it. Brian, the owner of Master Mounts, arrived on time, was professionally dressed, personable, and did quality work. I'd definitely recommend him.
The only constructive feedback I'd give is to make sure you sit down in your furniture after your tv is mounted. I didn't do that and it's slightly higher than I might have chosen, but not enough of a bother to have it changed. I'd also recommend Brian bring or ask for a portable vacuum to vacuum up the dust from installation. I was in a bit of a rush so I overlooked those details at the time. Thank you, Brian, for your work! We're enjoying the tv on the wall much more than when it was on the floor.

I hd Chuck come to my house to instal several flat screen televisions. I had gotten many quotes and not only did his prices beat the competition, the quality was outstanding! I cannot say enough about the care and professionalism Chuck showed. He is a true craftsman. He did not just rig it on the wall. He made sure all the wires were hidden and actually moved the plug so it was hidden. I will use him again.

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Who wall mounts TVs?

Electricians, handymen and TV installation specialists may all provide television mounting services. The person who does the mounting should be qualified and knowledgeable about basic construction concepts as well as working with audiovisual cables. In general, no specialized certificates are required to provide television mounting services, but as always do your diligence and make smart hiring decisions.

It’s important to find an experienced professional who will ensure the TV wall mount meets building code. Most regions have fire codes that don’t permit high-voltage power cords behind walls (low-voltage wires like HDMI and video cables are generally acceptable). A basic wall mount on drywall may take approximately one to two hours, while more complex mounts on brick or stone with hidden cables can take three or more hours. If you need more electrical outlets installed near your entertainment system, you may want to hire an electrician. Check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.

What should you do with a broken LCD TV?

Nationally, the average price range for TV repair is $60-$90. LCD TV repairs are one of the most common TV repair requests. A liquid crystal display (LCD) TV uses the same technology as your smartphone and most computer screens. Images are created on an LCD screen by electric currents that pass or block light through liquid crystals that are encased between two polarized, glass-like sheets. LCD TVs can be very thin and are relatively affordable, making them one of the most prevalent types of TV on the market. If you have a broken LCD TV, it can probably be repaired. Common problems that can be repaired include a blank screen, sound issues, power problems and digital connection problems. Here is one example of LCD TV repair cost:

55-inch Samsung LCD TV repair: $150, including parts and labor

The LCD was intermittently powering up and powering off. The main circuit board was removed and replaced.

Can you fix a flat screen TV?

Yes, you can usually fix a flat screen TV. Whether you have a plasma, LED, OLED, HDR, HD or even LCD, TV repair pros can repair your TV. Flat screen TVs are expensive, and when they stop working it can make your heart stop. But TV repair technicians have advanced along with TV technology and are equipped with the proper tools and training for major and minor repairs. If your flat screen is too massive to transport, most repair companies have pickup and drop-off service. For the most common problems, TV repair pricing might range between $175 and $200 on average. Here are examples of the most common problems:

Power problems: The TV won’t turn on or will not stay on once started.

Digital problems: All connections are in place but you’re not receiving any signal.

Sound problems: There is no sound, the volume doesn’t respond to attempts to raise or lower it, or the volume is inconsistent.

Screen problems: The TV is on but there is no picture.

How much does it cost to mount a TV?

Elevate your home style with television mounting services. The national average price for television mounting services ranges between $100 and $130. Factors that can affect cost are the material of the wall you want the TV mounted on, whether you want the wires hidden, and any additional entertainment system connection you desire. It probably costs more to mount a TV on brick, stone or concrete than on drywall or plaster due to the added labor required to drill holes. For example, a company may charge an additional $99 to mount a TV on a brick wall. Here are some examples of average costs for television mounting services:

TV wall mount and up to 5 speakers wall-mounted with hidden wires: $399.

Can a TV be mounted above a fireplace?

You may be able to mount your flat screen TV above your fireplace for a more streamlined look in your living room. In fact, TV mounting professionals can hang your flat screen TV flush with a wall or from a tilting or full-motion bracket mount in any room in your home. A tilting or full-motion mount may be the best option above a fireplace so you can tilt the TV down for the best viewing angle. Whether the wall above your fireplace is brick, drywall, concrete, stone or plaster, most television mounting services can accommodate your needs. Hardier wall surfaces like concrete or brick will require more labor and expertise to mount, and will likely have a higher price range.

If you want your AV and cable wires hidden in the wall, you will also pay a higher price due to the added time and skill to properly drill the holes and run wires. Before mounting your TV above your fireplace, consult with the manufacturer about necessary distance from heat sources. If the space above your fireplace gets too warm, another location could be better for the longevity of your TV. Your television mounting services may take between one and two hours, or more depending on your home theater setup.
